Pure Birth Doula

Car seats are designed to snap into a vehicle base or a stroller – not a shopping cart. The baby is at risk of falling from a shopping cart and the car seat could be damaged in a mishap. Instead, you can place the car seat in the shopping cart or wear the baby, but never put the car seat on top of the shopping cart.

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL MAMAS!!!🥰🥰🥰

This is for the men.

Do you remember how beautiful she was when you took her out for your first date?

Well .... she is still the same woman you laid your eyes upon that particular night, many years ago.

The only difference now, is she has given you children, she has given you a life, and she has blessed you with a family.

As a man you should appreciate every stretch mark and scar that comes with motherhood.

The beautiful striatons symbolize the journey of motherhood and are a tattoo of that precious moment in time.

They not only represent the pain she went through for countless months on end, but are a beautiful reminder of her undying love for you.

So always remember how blessed you truly are to have a woman in your life that has given you something that is more precious than anything in existence.

THIS!!!!! 💯💯💯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Crazy idea, right? 😅

While a doula can (and should) help advocate for you if needed, we need to take a gigantic step back and ask why are we birthing in a place and with people where “advocacy” is even needed?!? How in the world did it become normal or right or part of God’s plan that a woman giving birth should feel like she won’t be listened to or that her basic human rights will not be respected? 😳

We have GOT to start questioning the idea and the safety of giving birth with strangers or with people who you’ve maybe only met a few times. We’ve got to stop choosing to birth with people and in places who hold fundamentally different ideas of the dignity of the human person, the process of birth, or where it is necessary to fight for your body, your baby, and this sacred time to be respected. The outcomes of the modern system don’t lie and they’re not good.

A doula should be there to serve the birth process and to serve the mother. And yes, while in rare cases that might mean having her speak up if a mother’s consent or wishes are being violated or ignored (or helping you to do so), that should be rare and NOT par for the course!

A doula cannot save you from a doctor, midwife, place, and system that you have chosen. This is true in moments of vulnerability those last few weeks of pregnancy and especially so during the intensity that is labor, times where true informed consent is not even possible and almost every woman will acquiesce to the “authority” in the room out of fear, out of worn down frustration, out of exhaustion, or out of a skewed sense of self-protection.

As much as possible, make choices about your birth where you *don’t* need a bodyguard 🤯 Make choices about your birth where a need to “advocate” would be the furthest thing from anyone’s mind because everyone there sits in a spirit of humble service to the great mystery and beauty unfolding before them in and through you, where the God-given authority of the mother and the design of birth is not only respected but revered.

The interesting thing is that a lot of mamas are pregnant again before their baby turns two! Mamas need grace and love and nurturing too! Mama’s, if you need help please reach out!
